A large mansion just on the bottom of the Alps, perpetually covered in snow and ice. Some travelers use this place as a respite from the harsh environment, although many who come here swear there are signs of someone living here, even though supposedly no one has inhabited the place for years. It doesn't look terribly different from what one would expect of a manor. Clearly, someone of a high stature owned the place...

The group sent to find the Lunar Shard said to be hidden here in the tundra now stand before the empty manor, used by so many travelers as a bastion against the cold. With the revelation that the artifact needed to stop the Shades may be here, however, the manor takes on a more sinister role, even were it not already surrounded by rumors.---There was a bit of apprehension in Gul'ka's mind, gazing on that frozen home. It was bound to be big, with far more rooms than any one person should be comfortable with. And who was to say what could be hiding in them?Best to get this over with as quick as possible.

Yoren gazed out at the sprawling manse in this sprawling wasteland and rechecked the wards on his gear for the umpteenth time. Finding them as satisfactory as they could be given the situation, he simply stares off, wanting to get this done and get out of this frozen hell.

Having gotten word of the Shard incident, Miyuki has decided to handle finding the shard herself, in the hopes that this will stop the Shade attacks plaguing the village and its surroundings, and give her students a little peace. She examines the entrance, finding nothing of note. Figures it wouldn't be that easy.

Kayuza is doubled over in costume, as though he were a doddering mage, too old to be doing this work anymore. Never a fan of his enemies knowing what he's going to be doing, even when he's doing this sort of work along with his wife.

Tod checks his pocketwatch - or, more specifically, the area scans he has installed in the pocketwatch. They still don't seem to be calibrated right. He grimaces and shuts it with a snap. Oh well. At least if anything happens... he fingers the knife strapped to his belt, and hopes that his few lessons would pay off.

Gul'ka gazes at the mansion for another moment before turning to reassess his allies.Unfortunately, none of them particularly seemed the 'charge in first' type. Which probably meant that it would be best for him to approach first.Sighing to himself once more, he steps towards the door, taking out his handgun. It would probably be the best choice for this environment, at least."Ready?" He throws over his shoulder at the others, slowing down only a little.

Kazuya shakily pulls a pair of spectacles out of his robe's pocket, putting them on his face with excruciating joint creaking. He steps onto the porch and squints into the darkness through a window. "They should invest in some lighting..."

Tod looks around curiously, nodding to himself. He doesn't quite know how to feel about any of this. Not yet, at least. He feels like he should feel terrified - or at least grim. He forces himself to stop checking his pocketwatch and decides to do something useful. Soon.

Miyuki takes a few cautious steps into the room. A large staircase leading to an even larger door was present, with several smaller doors decorating the walls and large pillars holding up the above-ground floors.

Gul'ka turns his attention away from the coat to the room in question, and starts to walk to it. He puts more care into his gait as he draws closer to the room, not exactly eager to announce his presence. His gun, of course, is raised and ready.
